ardeegee, when I was a boy in the 50s, there was a popular cartoon called Crusader Rabbit. The same people later made Rocky & Bullwinkle.
When I was in high school in New Orleans, one of our rivals was the St. Aloysius Crusaders.
So you see, this notion that the Crusades were bad is a recent phenomenon.
Kenny, my interpretation of what is going on in Texas is that the vast majority of the population is conservative; in the last (I'm guessing) twenty years liberals have intruded their views into the textbooks, and now the conservatives are fighting back, attempting to restore the viewpoint held by the vast Texas majority.
I definitely don't see this as a conservative minority attempting to impose its views on a liberal majority.
